A New Orleans-shot horror thriller ("Dylan Dog: Dead of Night"), a German-shot zombie thriller ("Rammbock") and a Disney teen drama ("Prom") -- this week, a little something for everybody is expected to open at New Orleans-area theaters. Here's a rundown of what new movies will be on tap Friday:

Brandon Routh stars in a comic-book-inspired horror-comedy -- set in New Orleans, where it was shot in 2009 -- about a supernatural detective whose most recent case has him dealing with vampires, werewolves and zombies in a job that could decide the fate of the planet.

A French drama, and a winner at Cannes, about a group of Trappist monks stationed in a remote Algerian village who come under threat from Islamist extremists operating in the region. That leaves the monks with a dilemma: Do they stay and continue attending to the needs of villagers, but risk their lives? Or do they flee - and forsake the villagers? Based on real events

An animated fractured-fairy tale, and a long-delayed sequel to the 2005 sleeper hit "Hoodwinked!" This time, Red Riding Hood and her fellow fairy-tale heros - who work to ensure happily-ever-afters are always achieved - are summoned to help solve the sudden disappearance of Hansel and Gretl.

The German zombie movie, which generated some nice buzz at Austin Fantastic Fest earlier this year, helps inaugurate a new screening series co-hosted by AMC Theatres and the horror-movie website Bloody Disgusting.

The film, about a group of German survivors trapped in a Berlin apartment building by a band of marauding zombies, will screen at the AMC Elmwood Palace every Wednesday and Friday in May, after which a new selection will take over.
